When I’m creating recipes for Tiny Kitchen Big Taste, I always try to create dishes for people who love big taste, but who might be: Tight on Time Tight on Space Tight on Budget This Fried Rice recipe is one that hits the bullseye on all three! Tight on Time First, Fried Rice can be…

No milk, cream, butter, cheese, or yogurt — these recipes are free of dairy as written, based on a full ingredient check. Great flavor, no compromise.
Watermelon Sorbet
As DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince once rapped in that (ahem, my) 90’s favorite, Summertime: Here it is, a recipe slightly transformed Just a bit of a break from the norm Just a little somethin’ to break the monotony Of all that hardcore heat that has gotten to be A little bit out…
Tiny Kitchen Slider Sauce
Every great slider needs a great sauce… and this one is the reason people ask me what’s on the burger before they ask me what’s in the burger. It’s four ingredients, one small bowl, and about sixty seconds — and it tastes even better than the special sauce you’ve been trying to reverse-engineer from your…

Sparkling Cocktails (Morning Mimosa,
TK Bay Berry Fizz, Classic Champagne Cocktail)
A few years back, I started having a real appreciation for Champagne. Before that, I never really considered it as an option because, frankly, I didn’t really like it. Of course, we had Martinelli’s Sparkling Cider growing up on holidays and I loved that. But then, I remember tasting Champagne for the first time when…
Açaí Bowl
Açaí! Pronounce ah-sigh-ˈEE, it’s one of those cool words I envision yelling as I launch from a zip line platform in the middle of the Brazilian rainforest. Açaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! They probably have a zipline somewhere in the rainforest, right? Well, until I have the good fortune to take a trip to Brazil (which is definitely on…
Holy Guacamole!
Avocados are a funny thing. They’re kind of like Cilantro in the way that people respond to them. People are either a huge fan or they really can’t stand them. Admittedly, I was in the latter camp on both accounts. As you can see from my last recipe, Cinco de Mayo Street Tacos, and this…
Fried Pickles
Everything in life should be as good as Fried Pickles. Perfectly crispy. Perfectly crunchy. A little bit tart and a little bit sweet. Fried Pickles have it all…guaranteed to change the way you think of the dill pickle. Everything in life should be as good as Fried Pickles. Perfectly crispy. Perfectly crunchy. A little…
Homemade Cajun Seasoning
I’ll be honest — I kept Cajun seasoning that I got from Applebee’s when I worked there in a recycled gray plastic spice jar for longer than I care to admit. It was so good, and eventually that gray plastic spice jar was empty. Then, one day, I did a little research about what typically…
The Best Roasted Potatoes Ever!
(Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary, Garlic and Pine Nuts)
When I create recipes for Tiny Kitchen Big Taste, many of them go through a lot of testing. This was one of them. You might be thinking, “They’re roasted potatoes…what’s to test?” Well, I’m glad you asked. Actually, you didn’t…I just suggested you did so that I could tell you about all the different ways…
Heavenly Deviled Eggs
Few things remind me more of this time of year than deviled eggs. Why? Well, Easter always falls around this time of year (this year, it’s THIS Sunday)…and when you’re a kid, that means you decorate egg after egg after egg. Our basic recipe was 1/2 cup boiling water, 1 teaspoon white vinegar and food coloring…

Whether serving this Italian favorite on a plate or making a sandwich, this Sausage, Peppers and Onions recipe can get…
Tabouli!
When I travel, of course I love to see the sights, especially when it’s something like the Pyramids, the Colosseum or the Eiffel Tower. The times that are most memorable to me, though, are those experiences I have with the local people. And one thing you can count on, especially when traveling outside of the…
